Following a meeting in Paris on June 21, 2014 to share their experiences on living within the MKO Cult , the former members of the terror-cult of Rajavis gathered in Saint Michelle Square, Paris. Books, flyers and Placards on the MKO crimes were distributed. Defectors explained true substance of the MKO and its cult-like terrorist history to French citizens and Iranians including passengers or France residents.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) are both groups of zealous extremists left over from the days of crisis in Iraq. They are both supported by a group
of Western high profiles.
Western supporters of these extremists are shadowy people about their real intentions. Members of the European Parliament who back the MKO as what they call "Resistance" and the ISIS as what they call "part of popular uprising" hardly ever like to go on public record supporting terrorist extremist like the MKO and ISIS unless it is the highest priority which is their common enemy in the region, Islamic Republic of Iran. This means that terrorism designations are fundamentally political choices according to such Western politicians.
The so-called Grand Iranian Gathering was attended by dozens of purchased politic men who praised the MKO and its brother ISIS. While the main objective of the meeting was to support the MKO’s so-called resistance, the cult leader Maryam Rajavi seized the opportunity to violently lash out against Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and rejoice over the progress achieved by the ISIS.
The ISIS atrocities in Iraq were claimed by the MKO as victories of "Iraqi revolutionary forces and tribes"! The group’s opportunistic strategy sees its survival in the achievements of the so-called Islamic State that seeks to seize the entire Islamic countries in the region.
Today, in the chaotic situation of Iraq and Syria, the MKO might be the last thing that the international community pays attention to. Thus the MKO resorts to any notorious force that opposes Iraqi and Iranian states. It contributes with them, tries to get involved with them just to draw the world’s attention to itself.
Maryam Rajavi’s meeting with Ahmed Jarba the head of Syrian opposition two months ago was another effort made by the MKO to get itself seen in the region’s equation. To obtain this goal the group’s skillful propaganda bought officials and audience and held its annual gathering –this year—to demonstrate its support for the Saddamist extremists whose leader claimed to be the Califat of all Muslims around the world.
Maryam Rajavi perhaps dreams of ruling one of the provinces in the map of ISIS’s territory 5-year plan !

At the end of May, when an ISIS fighter returning home from Syria carried out a deadly attack at the Jewish Museum in Brussels killing reportedly 4, the Europe got to the fact that the violence doesn’t stop at its 
external borders .
The Islamic States of Iraq and al-Sham (SIS) prevailed in recruiting more people, and obtain weapons and money from different sources. This concerned the Western states that once supported and armed the group against the legal government of Syria and Iraq.
The ISIS terrorist group which has now organized a terrorist army seems to have plan to tangle with the West.
A senior U.S. official, who spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity, said that events in Syria and Iraq are dominating discussions in the counter-terrorism community. The official said ISIS was now focused on Iraq, but "the big concern" was that it will shift its attention to the West — identifying, recruiting and training Western individuals to return to their homelands as hardened, combat-trained extremists.[1]
European governments estimate that at least 1,400 of their citizens are fighting as ISIS jihadists but the true numbers may be higher—one British parliamentarian said that as many as 1,500 Britons have fought in Syria, compared to an official estimate of 500. [ 2] Authorities in France believe some 800 French nationals have travelled to Syria, or intend to. Analysts believe as many as 100 American citizens have made the trek.[3]
on the other side, the Mujahedin Khalq terrorist group which has already been active supporting the extremists in the region or elsewhere, didn’t hesitate hailing and supporting blatantly the so called Islamic government of Iraq and the Levant(ISIL/ISIS), despite the shocking news and gruesome photos of the mass killings and savage crimes the ISIS commit in Iraq and against ordinary people. Instead the group supporters in the European Parliament downplayed the horrors of ISIS’ actions claiming the violent acts were “part of a popular uprising” against Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. [4]
The military equipments and armored vehicles of the MKO reportedly were seen as being used by the elements of ISIS.
In their annual gathering in Paris to hail their vicious past, Maryam Rajavi the so called president elect of the MKO rejoiced over the progress achieved by the ISIL.[5]
Meanwhile, the French Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization stating:” "France has no contact with the Organisation of the People’s Mujahideen of Iran which is known for resorting to violence,"
Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley, an author and historian from Washington, in an interview by PressTV to discuss the reason behind the France recent condemnation of the MKO says:” When you see a group like ISIS which is similar in many ways to the terrorists of the MEK, obviously there is a feeling in the MEK I would guess that they have got to get involved, that they have got to contribute, they have got to make themselves heard or they are not going to get the funding that they are accustomed to getting”.[6]
The Mujahedin Khalq Organization’s support and mutual cooperation to the extremist groups in the region seems to be – -in addition to its terrorist nature -based on the fact that the group depends on crises to secure its survival.
While Syria and Iraq experiencing unrest the MKO has been active supporting the insurgents and saboteurs.
In late august 2012, a number of MKO terrorists detained by the Syrian government confessed that the MKO is training the militants on Turkish soil near the border with Syria. [7]
After the downfall of Saddam Hussein the MKO has been active in supporting Baath Party elements and other terrorist and extremist groups against the legal government of Iraq who wants the MKO out of the country.
Anyway, the group’s supports and mutual services to terrorists and extremists haven’t brought anything good for them. It may lose its years-long stronghold in France, as it did in Iraq; Camp Ashraf.

Year after year, the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) holds its so-called Grand Gathering in Villepinte, Paris where a large crowd –including paid Western former politicians, black Africans and 
European students– is assembled from all over the world. Ordinary attendees who are eager to go on a free trip to the most eye-catching European capital are bused to the gathering show by different means of propaganda effectively used by the MKO.
Although the leader of the MKO cult of personality Maryam Rajavi claims that "today’s gathering reflects the will of the Iranian people from all walks of life", the documented reports, photos and testimonies of the attendees of previous Villepinte rally has always proved the opposite.
Just like a tradition these revealing stories are published a few days after the alleged Grand Gathering every year. You may remember the Polish students who could not resist the offer of a three-day trip to the French capital for only 6 Euros! [1]
Or you must recall the diary of a Kyrgyz student Alina Alymkulova who recounted in Radio Free Europe how she was recruited to travel from Prague to Paris to attend a rally for the MKO in June 2013. [2]
But this year’s gathering was encountered with an immediate harsh reaction by the French Government. French Foreign Ministry spokesman Romain Nadal criticized the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran, or Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, for “its violent and non-democratic inspirations,” ‘’cult nature” and “intense campaign of influence and disinformation”, reported the Associated Press. [3]
Romain Nadal also stated that France has no contact with the MKO "which is known for resorting to violence". The group has "no legal existence in France in the form of an Organization," Nadal stressed referring to its "sectarian practices". "We express our greatest reservations faced with the intense lobbying and disinformation campaign being carried out" by the MKO, He warned. [4]
While Rajavi criticizes the Unites States and the United Nations for their failure to relocate residents of camp Liberty in third countries, the expenses of organizing such a huge rally – at least one hundred politicians are offered first class flights and luxurious hotels in Paris by the MKO propaganda arm— could have been spent for the resettlement process of 3000 individuals who are taken as hostages by the cult leaders in the critical situation of Iraq.
The long list of former Western high profiles –mostly from warmonger parties– who address the MKO rally in Villepinte indicates that the rally is actually a misinformation campaign that never seeks the aspirations of the Iranian public. It is absolutely a heavy-funded act of propaganda for Maryam Rajavi to show off its fake prominence among Iranians.

While the current crisis in Iraq is in the spotlight of the International Community, the issue of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) seems trivial. However, authentically the MKO plays the part of an old buzzard who feed on dispute and conflict. If there is no conflict in the region and/or between Iran and the West its existence will come 
to an end.
There also seems to be layers upon layers of various groups who don’t want an accord between the West and Iran, each for his own interest. In order to reach their goals, they do not care who to side with.
As the MKO calls the terrorist extremists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) as "Iraqi revolutionary forces and tribes", their sponsors in the European Parliament claimed the violent acts were not carried out by ISIS, but were “part of a popular uprising” against Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. [1]
Eldar Mamedov who is a political adviser for the social-democrats in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament (EP) and is in charge of the delegation for inter-parliamentary relations between the EP and Iran, criticized the controversial act of three major MKO sponsors in the EP Alejo Vidal Quadras, Paul Casaca and Struan Stevenson who recently created the European Iraqi Freedom Association (EIFA), a “new NGO with the mission of improving the political and human rights situation in Iraq.”[2]
Just as one evidence to make sure that the Iraqi crisis is never a “popular uprising”, it is clear in the terrified faces of the hundreds of thousands of refugees who fled Mosul. So what benefits the MKO and its supporters in EP to make alliance with ISIS terrorists?
Eldar Mamedov seems to have found the answer," There is no shortage of people arguing that Iran holds excessive influence over Iraq and that Maliki has aggravated many of Iraq’s problems, so why did these MEPs resort to downplaying the horrors of ISIS’ actions in calling for an end to Tehran’s hold on Baghdad?
"A clue appears in the EIFA’s emphasis on the security situations of Camps Ashraf and Liberty."
Mamedov criticizes the delegation that has "devoted disproportionate attention to the security of Camp Ashraf while almost completely neglecting the more relevant economic, social, security and human rights challenges facing Iraq."[3]
The anti Iranian stance of the MKO as well as ISIS is a key factor to motivate American and European warmongers to back any force in the region that might destabilize Islamic Republic and the IRI-backed government of Nouri AlMaliki –although the role of the MKO dollars should not be disregarded." In addition to the leftist groups who uncritically support the MEK because it claims to have Marxist beliefs (along with Islamic ones!), right-wing MEPs seem taken in by its fervent anti-Iranian government stance," states Mamedov." It is therefore not surprising that the individuals endorsing the EIFA have also endorsed the MEK." [4]
Mamedov truthfully suggests that all warmongers and crisis makers in the region base their entire policy on the famous quote "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". However, supporters of terrorist extremists include a small number of the EP members.
Chairman of the EP Committee on Foreign Affairs Elmar Brok who visited Tehran last week, underlined that the new European Parliament is aware of the importance of ties with Iran, reported FNA.
In reply to the remarks of Head of the Iranian legislature’s Friendship Group with the European Parliament Kazzem Jalali on the MKO’s fraudulent propaganda among EP members, Brok said, "The majority of the European Parliament do not like cooperation with groups such as MKO and only a minority group in the Parliament support the MKO."[5]
The above mentioned fact had been also noticed by Mamedov himself. "Even with the extravagant funds the MEK has spent on endorsements by political elites, the group’s prominence in the EU is confined only to one part of the EP," he wrote in his earlier piece on the MKO’s propaganda efforts in UE. [6]
However, Mamedov does not neglect the risk of giving the Cult of Rajavi "the opportunity to parasite on the legitimate concerns of the international community over Iran’s nuclear program and its civil and human rights policies."[7]
He warns MEPs who might be approached by the MKO well-funded lobbyists to "be wise to think twice about associating with an organization that attempts to minimize the acts of a group so murderous and fanatical that even al-Qaeda has declared it too extreme."[8]
“They represent a threat to every country in the region,” Secretary of State John Kerry described ISIS in an interview with TODAY. “They’re more extreme even than al Qaeda. And they are threatening the United States and Western interests.”[9]
As a matter of fact the MKO terrorist cult does not recognize the interests and benefits of any side and neither the interests of its own members. Their only strategy is always focused on violence, the more extreme the more favorable for the MKO.

Former member of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) returned home after 25 years of imprisonment in the Cult of Rajavi.
Nejat Society Gilan office celebrated the reunion of Mr. Rajabzadeh and his beloved children who were barely 5 years old when their father left home as a an Iranian soldier to fight Iraqi Baa’th regime. Mr. Rajabzadeh was a war prisoner when the MKO recruiters deceived him to join their cult. Under the mind control system of the cult, he lost his youth and family.
While hugging his father, the son of Mr. Rajabzadeh, Mehran cried , "Shame on Rajavi who separated me and my sister from our father for 27 years! He made us live in grief and suffering."
Rajabzadeh’s daughter, Razieh hugged and kissed her father. She appreciated the efforts of Nejat Society for the return of her father.
Reza Rajabzadeh who could hardly ever control his tears said:" I’m sorry…I love my children…Shame on Rajavi who broke down a lot of families! I will not stop denouncing him and his cult unless all prisoners of Camp liberty are released."
Reza Rajabzadeh left the MKO about two years ago. After his release, He stayed in a hotel in Baghdad as he wanted. He was one of the active ex-members of the group who revealed the notorious safe house of Masoud Rajavi, Base 49.
The legacy of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein appears in a more dangerous group called Islamic Iraqi State and the Levant (Daesh in Arabic). 
ISIS was formed in April 2013 and grew out of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). It has since been disavowed by al-Qaeda, but become one of the main jihadist groups fighting government forces in Syria and is making military gains in Iraq according to BBC.
Correspondents say it appears to be surpassing al-Qaeda as the world’s most dangerous jihadist group. Some suggest that Al Qaida rejects ISIS because it is too extreme!
One part of the ISIS’s supporters in Iraq includes elements of former Iraqi Baa’th regime that severely oppose the government of Nouri al Maliki. Eventually, as "Saddam’s Private Army" the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (the MKO) is naturally one of their sponsors in their distressing acts of violence and terror in Iraq and Syria.
Baathists welcome ISIS and MKO welcomes both. Saddam Hussein’s daughter in Jordan, with whom the MKO is in close collaboration, went further and thanked the Saudi government for supporting ISIS, reported Iran Interlink.
This devil alliance between Baathists, extremists and cultists is not accidental. It is actually originated in the cult-like violence which exists in the substance of such groups. Definitely, the cult of Rajavi and ISIS resort to violence and terror as their only solution to the world’s problems.
The most crucial factor in the rule of both which is based in violence is that dissident voice must be silenced by killing and bloodshed. This essential rule was instructed to them by their main masters Saddam Hussein and Osama. However, today they are more aggressive that their predecessors.
The MKO leaders also deal out harsh treatment against their own members in their camps. Members including hundreds of women are isolated from the outside world just like the so-called Islamic state of ISIS in Mosul under which women are banned from getting out of house or being uncovered.
The cult’s website praises the ISIS’s statement in which it promises to kill the government forces unless they surrender. Calling the ISIS terrorists as “Revolutionary forces” the MKO propaganda expresses solidarity with them.
ISIS forces are considered brothers by the MKO because they are the group’s ideological brothers if not biological brothers.
